Abstract
Parts 1 and 2 of a 2 Part Workshop – Whitby Toesday Hornpipe Clog Routine for Beginners & Intermediates – Melanie Barber
Melanie Barber teaches the Whitby Toesday Hornpipes, for both Beginners and Intermediate levels, comprising ten steps, which she wrote for the Whitby Folk Week Community Facebook Group in 2016. A basic knowledge of clog techniques such as straight and round shuffles would be useful but not essential.
Part 1 covers steps 1 to 5.
Part 2 covers steps 6 to 10.
